I worked some time in php and mysql and they work preety well.
There are pros and cons
for both.
But don't fforget you can do oop in php,
events driven programming
is only a particular case of function calling
you can implement such behavior in php too
but you must either find a library on the net supporting events
or rewrite the code which handles events for your app.
so there is no diference between them only in the language used.
I work with php and aspnet with same pleasure according only to what the
customer wants.

Subject: Visual Studio or HTML and PHP for Independent Contracting
Hi Guys:
After 2 years of brain smushing work in VB.net and VWD and SQL Server,
Express modules, I am starting to consider Independent Contracting to develop
DataBase and Website apps for folks.
Most of the bid requests center around low-budget websites for
non-programming types who want minimal maintenance and learning requirements.
If I read it right I could build a basic Website using MySql and PHP as code
in standard folders, upload the folders and they could do things like add or
remove links by copy and paste a prior link, change the href and upload, ftp, a
single modified page, folder or file.
Also, they could just maintain their Website using Notepad - no special
editors so long as they don't mess with the PHP.
Contrasting, they would have to download, install, and configure Vb.net
Express, Sql Server Express and learn the IDE and OOP, event driven
Programming, to do much with the Microsoft environment.
Also, uploading the site to a host, and transferring files between my
computer and their computer as Project Templates would be messy at best during
any change requests downline.
Does this sound like your experience?
Are there any gotyahs to working with MySql, html and php that the MS
Environment handles which would convince a non-programming type to learn
development in VWD rather than the simpler, at least it sounds simpler, HTML
PHP environment?
At least it sounds simpler from Googling on things like Login, Session State
and a few dynamic controls.
Finally, if I build them a Website using the full blown VS Pro environment
can they maintain their links, directories and files without using the MS
environment. That is, can they maintain the basic structure and Link and File
content on the host somehow witthout learning the VWD IDE?
I guess there would be a Command Center to maintain their DB if they wanted
to mess with that but I'm not sure about basic UI and Link maintenance without
Visual Studio.
Thanks, been trying to decide which way to go for several weeks now.
